Health Benefits Of Microneedling

Prevents Premature Skin Aging

Another benefit of microneedling is it prevents premature skin aging. As mentioned, microneedling enhances the production of collagen, which is what provides the skin its elasticity. The decrease in elasticity causes wrinkles and lines to develop.

A review from 2018 details a study with forty-eight participants ranging from thirty-five to seventy-five years old. Four treatment sessions took place over the course of 150 days. Participants saw a significant reduction in wrinkles and lines. In addition to that, laxity of the participants' skin was improved. Additional research suggests microneedling may work better when combined with substances called human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived endothelial precursor cell (EPC) conditioned medium (CM).

Promising results are shown from a 2014 study documenting the results of microneedling for skin rejuvenation in female participants. The researchers used 0.25-millimeter microneedle rollers along with hESC-EPC CM and another substance, saline, on the women's faces. Treatment sessions took place every two weeks. In the end, the microneedling combined with hESC-EPC CM produced better results.
